Lan Muyu looked at the corpses of his own people, his eyes full of horror. He had never seen such dense and violent arrows.
"Why are you stunned? Charge."
Although Uldam was also frightened by the sudden arrow, he knew that the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. After finally rushing here, he could not give up all his previous efforts.
"Crossbow, release."
Ju Yi was already familiar with this trick. The violent crossbow arrows soared into the sky and once again gave the charging Qiang cavalry a blow to the head.
"Archer, let go."
"Liannu, let go."
After a series of operations, the number of Qiang cavalry losses exceeded 5,000, but they still could not attack the main camp.
"Chief, please retreat first."
Looking at the casualties in front of him, Lan Muyu couldn't help but feel distressed.
"No, we can't evacuate. It would be a waste to evacuate our dead and injured brothers now."
Uldamu roared fiercely at Lan Muyu.
"Uldam, the Han people have strong bows and crossbows, and the gains outweigh the losses in a strong attack. Rather than wasting our troops like this, it is better to retreat temporarily. As long as their supplies are cut off, they will not be able to bear it anymore in a few days and leave this place."
Turtle shells, they don’t just let us knead them.”
Amutso also rode his horse to Urdam's side and gave his suggestions.
"withdraw."
Wu Erdam also knew that continuing would only increase the losses, but he just couldn't get off the ground. Now that Amtso has to retreat, that's easy to say.
Urdam gave an order, and the Qiang cavalry turned their horses and retreated.
"My lord, if we order Gao Lan to lead the cavalry to attack now, we will definitely win a complete victory."
Wen Chou came to Yuan Shu, knelt down on one knee and suggested to him.
"No, let's spare their lives first, and then I'll let you kill them."
Watching the Qiang cavalry retreat into the distance, Yuan Shu resisted Wen Chou's desire to pursue them.
"My subordinate understands."
Wen Chou nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Qiang cavalry came and went as fast as they came, and disappeared from Yuan Shu's eyes in a moment, leaving only dead bodies on the ground and a river of blood flowing.
"Clean the battlefield and let these Qiang cavalry return to dust and dust to dust."
"promise."
The Qiang cavalry ran all the way and returned directly to Dazhai in Yuanyin.
"This battle was so frustrating."
As soon as Uldam returned to the tribe, he kicked the table in front of him away, then grabbed the wine jar on the ground and poured it into his mouth without using a bowl.
When the other tribe leaders saw Uldam's appearance, they all held their breath and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of offending him and being targeted again.
"Urdam, I know you are feeling aggrieved, but there is nothing you can do about it. This group of Han Chinese are very powerful and difficult to deal with."
Amutso did the same thing. He picked up a wine jar, opened the lid and poured wine into his mouth.
"Chief, why do I feel like something is wrong with this Han army?"
The two of them were drinking, while Lan Muyu on the other side looked at them thoughtfully.
"What's wrong? Are they not strong enough? Or do you think we are too weak?"
After hearing Lan Muyu's words, Uldam didn't say anything, and Amucuo threw the wine bowl over.
"Amutso, don't be angry first. He definitely doesn't mean that. Listen to what he has to say."
No matter what, Lan Muyu is still his, and if Amucuo ditches him now, he is ditching himself, and he has to hold on to the situation no matter what.
"Tell me, I want to hear what's wrong with these Han people."
Urdam had already spoken, so Amutso naturally had nothing to say.
"Two clan leaders, it is rumored that Yuan Shu's Jizhou soldiers have two elite cavalrymen, Yingyang and Weilu. These two cavalrymen are known as the undefeated divisions. Even Gongsun Zan of Beiping on the right did not get an advantage from them, and among them
Therefore, being able to conquer Shangjun so quickly was also due to these two elites.
Why haven't we seen any signs of them today? I believe that if they charged out when we were retreating, our losses would not be these thousands of people. Isn't this right?"
As soon as Lan Muyu finished speaking, the entire tent fell silent instantly, and everyone was thinking about a question.
Where are Yuan Shu's cavalry?
where it goes?
"Amtso, what he said makes sense. Yuan Shu's cavalry did not show up today. Where do you think they went?"
Uldam nodded to Lan Muyu, and then looked at Amutso.
"How do I know where their cavalry has gone? Maybe they are still training in Shangjun, maybe they were delayed on the way, maybe this camp is just a partial army, and the main force is not here."
As Amutso spoke, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If Yuan Shu's main force was not here, where would it be? The only direction seemed to be his own Yuanyang County.
"Uldam, I'm tired. I'm going back to the camp first."
Thinking of this, Amutso did not dare to delay, so he found an excuse and returned to his camp with his personal entourage.
"Kebi Ke, please send Qingqi back to Yuanyang County immediately to see if there is any situation there."
Now that you have an idea, you need to put it into practice. If Yuan Shu's main force is really in Yuanyang, he will immediately withdraw his troops and return.
"I understand, clan leader."
Urdam was confused by Amutso's sudden stop.
"Lan Muyu, what's going on?"
Puzzled, Uldam turned his attention to Lan Muyu.
"Clan Chief, what Chief Amtso said makes sense. I also suspect that this is not Yuan Shu's main force. It may be just a look. Their real target is not us, but Yuanyang County. I think he may have left to send people back.
Exploration situation in Yuanyang County.”
Lan Muyu frowned and answered Uldam's question.
"What should we do if Yuan Shu's main force is really in Yuanyang County? Should we lead his troops south to support him?"
Regarding this issue, Wuerdamu was also a little anxious. After all, the Yin and Yang were dead, the lips were dead, and the teeth were cold.
"No, absolutely not. The enemy is very close. If we leave, Yuanyin County will be captured by the enemy immediately. What's more, even if there is an enemy situation in Yuanyang County, who can be sure that the main force of the enemy is there?
Alas, now we can only hope that we are overthinking it and there is no enemy situation in Yuanyang County."
Lan Muyu shook his head. In the current situation, they were riding a tiger, and the only thing they could do was to pray.
Time passed little by little, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses galloped down, and then divided into two groups. One group was led by Yuan Zhou with an army of five thousand eagles to go to Wanyang County to cause trouble, and the other group was led by Yuan Zhou with the main force near the official road to ambush the troops heading south.
Qiang Cavalry.
Ying Yangjun was very good at marching and fighting, but they were very poor at looting places. The only thing they could do was to kill the Qiang cavalry who ran out to resist one by one. For those old and weak prisoners who had no power to resist,
I can only let it go.
"Go to the clan leader and tell them that Han Qi is coming."
